ASPHER Report ASPHER Report COVID-19 is at a Crossroads in Europe in Summer 2021: Risks of the Third Wave and the need to anticipate scenarios considering pitfalls How can we handle major risks such as increased undetected transmission between unvaccinated groups, with potential long term clinical sequelae and importation and spread of global variants with vaccine ‘immunity escape’? July 2021 Vasco Ricoca Peixoto1,2,3, John Reid1,4, Vladimir Prikazsky1,5, Ines Siepmann6, John Middleton1,7,* 1 ASPHER COVID-19 Task Force 2 NOVA National School of PuBlic Health, PuBlic Health Research Centre, Universidade NOVA de LisBoa, Portugal 3 Comprehensive Health Research Centre - Universidade Nova de LisBoa, Portugal 4 Visiting Professort, University of Chester, United Kingdom 5 Independent expert, epidemiologist 6 ASPHER Young Professional 7 ASPHER President * Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract European countries and most places in the world, are facing challenges of COVID transmission that highlight difficulties in controlling the pandemic. Strategies need to be updated. There are multiple risks and unknowns. These include the risks of transmission Between young unvaccinated people, and onward spread to other unvaccinated groups; high under- ascertainment of infection, due to our definition of COVID infection being too narrowly focussed and our increasing reliance on inadequate rapid antigen tests creating the potential for large numBers of false negative cases; rapid importation and dissemination of variants with reduced vaccine effectiveness and finally the risk of sequelae for infected individuals with impact on future Burden of disease. Inequalities in vaccine uptake and availaBility, and inequalities in risks of infection leave some communities exposed to higher rates of infection and higher long-term ill health. The initial puBlic health goals and message around the world to prevent hospitalizations and deaths needs to change to gain peoples’ collaboration in prevention and control in places like Europe, where most older populations are increasingly fully vaccinated. The approach should include two main aspects: Firstly there are warning signs on the frequency of sequelae and health risks in the medium-/long-term that could increase the Burden of disease of COVID-19 during the next decades, even for some younger individuals; Secondly the risks posed By new variants in terms of higher transmission and lesser effectiveness of vaccines in use could put Europe’s huge vaccine efforts in jeopardy. It is important to consider enhanced strategies of wider testing and contact tracing and puBlic communication. Recent research shows that there is a Broader range of COVID-19 symptoms, particularly in younger people, that are less frequently recorded, proBaBly due to surveillance Bias. While efforts to vaccinate the world population are still far off, we must consider the potential risks and benefits of an improved public health strategy that includes preparedness for the Third wave impact, with updated winter plans, and reducing imports and dissemination from countries with high transmission and significant new variants. The Association of Schools of PuBlic Health in the European (ASPHER) recognises that Europe is at a crossroads. We should ignore false calls for aBandonment of still reliaBle measures. We should carry forward with rolling out vaccination while maintaining balanced public health countermeasures and communications that increase compliance, that add protection and allow us to steadily exit pandemic mode as safely as possiBle. Trying to exit too fast, may create real risks in the long run. COVID-19 at the crossroads in Europe We need international recognition that we are at a crossroads. There are risks of this summer becoming known for the invisible spread of new or as yet unknown variants among younger non-vaccinated populations in Europe and the world. These may make control more difficult next winter, with a real risk of further reducing vaccine effectiveness. We need more research on the risk of COVID-19 sequelae, that include long-COVID syndromes and other COVID-associated medical conditions. We need to understand if it is enough to protect older people from severe disease, or if other relevant risks lurk ahead for many healthy younger people that have Been, and will Be infected. Higher underascertainment of cases in a context of generalized loosening of preventive measures, increase moBility and increase in mass gatherings make control of the Delta and other variants difficult this summer. We are beginning to see a rise in cases in European countries, Beyond the initial appearance in the United Kingdom and Portugal. Worst-case scenarios for next winter must Be projected and their risks evaluated so we can understand and communicate to the people what are the trade-offs of a quick opening up, loosened border control, allowing for variant spread and eventual long-term health risks related to infection among many yet susceptible individuals. Borders, dissemination of variants, genomic surveillance and immune escape to vaccination and prior infection Variants that arise tend to spread long Before they are found as surveillance and identification as variants of concern. Identification of new and existing variants requires the genetic sequencing of a large numBer of samples, that are hardly representative, before their clinical relevance in terms of transmission, clinical severity and immune escape potential can Be assessed1. Genomic surveillance has limitations everywhere and is very heterogeneous in Europe and the World2. Institutions and authorities need to understand this surveillance bias and delay if they are to grasp the meaning of reported data to Be ahead of the curve. In addition there are high levels of case-underascertainment in COVID-193,4. Outbreaks that are not recognized as new variant-related make it nearly impossiBle to control the spread of variants, especially if coordinated travel policies and quarantine are not put in place. Opportunities for new mutations and the resultant spread of new variants may further reduce vaccine effectiveness. A reduction in vaccine efficacy for infection has been detected in Delta variant especially with only one vaccine dose5. Recently Israel reported that the Pfizer vaccine protected 64% of people against illness between June 6 and early July, down from a previous 94%. However effectiveness against hospitalization and death remained high6. The risk of spread of the Delta and other variants this summer was considered highly likely in an ECDC risk assessment2. This variant is dominant in many areas of the world only 6 months after vaccine rollout started. The variant was first detected in FeBruary in India and certainly appeared many months Before its first detection. After this, in May 2021, there was a Big surge in cases in the same country. The frequency of transmission in some parts of the world make it virtually inevitaBle that mutations arise that create variants of concern. These variants have characteristics that hinder control efforts either By increased transmissiBility or By immune escape. These characterisitics are related to changes in the viral Spike Protein and others7,8. These may not necessarily become less severe9,10. It is estimated that an infected person can carry 1 000 000 000 viral particles at the peak of the infection11. There is already some evidence of early reduction of vaccine effectiveness with the Delta variant12. These variants will either Be more infectious, have some level of immune escape by presenting structural and functional variations of the Spike protein or intracellular replication mechanisms or other immune evasion mechanisms13. It is Biologically plausible, and to Be expected, that new relevant variants will soon Be detected in Europe if stronger Schengen Border control efforts and adequate puBlic communication is not put in place. Interventions that can delay the importation and dissemination of such variants from high risk areas may prove worth the effort this summer, while vaccination of the world accelerates. Failure to do so may result in a worst case scenario: an earlier loss of effectiveness of vaccines13, new waves of infection and hospitalized cases next winter. The acute consequences of infection that we already know will Be accompanied By greater risks of sequelae, including in younger individuals. These we can no longer ignore. EU institutions should draw up scenarios and assess these risks and trade-offs and make recommendations to ensure the effectiveness of Border control measures. The isolation and testing of people newly arriving in countries seems to have oBstacles: legal; administrative and enforcement and needs to Be addressed head-on. There must be strong common European policy, harmonized and effectively implemented by each Member State. Border controls must be supported by the effective use of information technologies and by ensuring compliance with quarantines. Enhanced Genomic Surveillance and efforts to increase surveillance system sensitivity/reduce under-ascertainment/detection of infections must Be Broadly promoted as essential tools to protect our near, common future. There must Be international agreement on minimum levels and standards for Genomic surveillance. Governments need to cooperate to support health systems to achieve this where the capacity does not yet exist.

  • Assessing SARS-Cov-2 Circulation, Variants of Concern, Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions and Vaccine Rollout in the EU/EEA, 15Th Update 10 June 2021
    RISK ASSESSMENT Assessing SARS-CoV-2 circulation, variants of concern, non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccine rollout in the EU/EEA, 15th update 10 June 2021 Summary Although SARS-CoV-2 transmission remains widespread in large parts of the EU/EEA, most countries report declining trends in 14-day COVID-19 notification rates, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy, and mortality. Many countries have initiated partial lifting of different non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that aim to reduce the degree of citizens physical contact and mobility. Since January 2021, EU/EEA countries have reported an increase in the number and proportion of SARS-CoV-2 cases of variants of concern (VOC) associated with increasing transmissibility and/or severity, with Alpha (B.1.1.7) the current dominant variant across the EU/EEA. Estimates across the region show that a large proportion of the population across Europe still remains susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and that population immunity is far from being reached. As of 3 June, the median cumulative vaccine uptake in the EU/EEA adult population (aged 18 years and older) had reached 46.2% for at least one vaccine dose and 22.3% for the full vaccination course. The highest level of vaccine uptake was observed among the elderly aged over 80, in which the uptake reached 80.5% for at least one dose and 66.3% for full vaccination coverage. For healthcare workers, the median level of at least one dose uptake was 87% and the median uptake for the full vaccination course was 65.2%. Increased vaccine supply has allowed countries to expand eligibility for vaccination to younger age groups.

  • A Long-Term Plan for Long Covid | Institute for Global Change
    A Long-Term Plan for Long Covid BRIANNA MILLER DANIEL SLEAT Contents Foreword 3 Overview 4 Our Original Recommendations 7 Further Recommendations 15 Conclusion 17 Published at https://institute.global/policy/long-term-plan-long- covid on March 12 2021 Foreword It is now clear that over 400,000 people in the UK suffer from the debilitating effects of ongL Covid or, as it is now called officially, Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, and a proportion of these will have symptoms FOREW persisting for some years. We know more about the problem than we did back in October when we FOREW launched the first eport.r We now have a working definition, but many aspects of its cause and ORD ORD mechanisms remain unclear. Unfortunately, although it is now well recognised, we have not progressed much in the treatment of the condition. The risk factors for the condition are now clearer and, although it can affect anyone of any age, we know that long-duration symptoms are more common with increasing age and in females. Studies from the ZOE Covid Symptom Study app show that having more than five different symptoms in the first week of the illness is a predictor of much increased risk. We urgently need to focus on treatment and trials of intervention, especially at three months to see if the immune cycle that prolongs symptoms can be broken. The government has invested some targeted funds for Long Covid, but these funds don’t match the scale of the problem. There are now some specialist clinical facilities around the country, but these are still patchy and too few in number and, importantly, patients and GPs lack a clear pathway to seek information and help via dedicated websites or apps.
